After discussing the dominant ideas that inform the 1940's the book culminates with a chapter on the 'culture of war'. Rather than splitting the decade at 1945, Jacqueline Foertsch argues persuasively that the 1940's should be taken as a whole, seeking out links between wartime and postwar American culture. 410 0$aTwentieth-Century American Culture 606 $aPopular culture$zUnited States$xHistory$y20th century 606 $aNineteen forties 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$y1918-1945 607 $aUnited States$xCivilization$y1945- 615 0$aPopular culture$xHistory 615 0$aNineteen forties. 676 $a306.0973/09044 700 $aFoertsch$b Jacqueline$f1964-$01514216 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910777063603321 996 $aAmerican culture in the 1940s$93769051 997 $aUNINA
